Suggestions on where to go?

[sarajo1670]

So I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and have no insurance. I have a blast infection, and I don't know what to do. I can't afford the emergency room, do I don't know where to go. Any suggestions? I filled for Medicaid to, but I'm too start working in the next couple weeks, so I don't event think I'll get approved for it.

Yes, if you live in CA, you may qualify for pregnancy related medi-cal. It will cover anything that is pregnancy related, including your delivery. Look for where your local social services office is or you can apply online. If you go into the offices though it may get processed a little quicker. Just call ahead to see what paperwork to take so you can finish everything at one time. It may take up a good portion of your day, but it will be worth it.

Idk what state ur in, but in CA u can qualify  for temporary  pregnancy medical, and should have it for 3 months if I'm not mistaken. Try drinking  pure cranberry  juice or there's  also cranberry  tablets. But if it's a bladder infection  you might need antibiotics. My doctor  also said I can take Tylenol  regular  strength  for pain.

You should still get approved most places don't give insurance for ninety days plus medicaid will cover your pregnancy possible as a secondary if you get insurance through your job after ninety days. As far as where to go I would go to ER its possible they can back date your medicaid coverage to beginning of your pregnancy
